Friday MEMEMEMEME

I saw this on Barb Cooper's always-funny blog, and since I was looking for a Friday light-hearted post topic (also since I scared you all away with "who would you slug?"), I thought I'd do this one while I think about how to organize a course at work.

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Yes, Bettye Sue and Doris Ann, my dad's sisters.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
Wow, this is a milestone. I don't remember. I think it had something to do with Beccano being sad about something. But, hey, my life is good! I am not weepy!

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
When I slow down, I do. It has gotten rather funky at fast pace since I have had the kids.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Liver cheese, however you spell that in German.

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Two so far.

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
I do think so. I'd like a me-ish friend. That is why I have Lee.

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?
(Rolls eyes.) (Barb said that but I am keeping it)

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS
Yes but I wouldn't recognize them if I saw them.

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
Only if pushed.

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
Special K with strawberry things. I don't eat it much, though. I eat too much.

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
I rarely wear shoes that tie, but no, I don't.

12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
Yeah, people keep saying that. Physically, though, well, my shoulder hurts.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
Vanilla with chocolate and caramel in it.

14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE
Their voice.

15. RED OR PINK?
Red.

16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
I really hate it that I cry when I get angry. Sometimes I think of the best things to say and then I can't get them out because I'm all wracked with sobs and stuff. (OK, this is weird, but this is what Barb wrote, and it actually IS way up there among my least favorite features of myself, one I have worked hard to change, but what happened when I got pissed off at that clueless lady for firing me? I cried.)

17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
Mom, then there are a lot of close seconds (Jody, friends from the DNO, Roberta Johnson, my "coven" in Illinois...)

18. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO SEND THIS BACK TO YOU?
Gosh, no. I like reading this stuff in blogs.

19. WHAT COLOR SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
Wine colored Mary Jane Dansko clogs with cute flower cut-outs.

20. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?
Masala roasted chickpeas (sorta like wasabi peas)

21. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
The sound of people typing in neighboring cubicles.

22. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?
violet

23. FAVORITE SMELLS?
Roses, violets, Thanksgiving dinner cooking, Zest soap

24. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
Sigh, a telemarketer

No, they don't make my vision good enough to suit me
